Concept Art for Proof-Of-Concept

[BlueMagnificent]

Greeting Wonderful Artists

I'm deeply in need of a concept art for the Proof-Of-Concept of Project DARKDOVE. The particular scenario of interest is more like an interior hall in a research facility. Any form of Idea about this, whether Visual or written, is highly appreciated.

Thanks alot

I suggest we come up with a basic story for the game so we can build upon it. After we have laid down Ideas, I'll try my best to Dish out some concept Art. I also think we should go with a Distinct non-realistic Art style to avoid the uncanny valley and in order to create something totally unique. The game could be Dark in tone and still feature cartoony sprites.

For the Game (or should I say, the Main Game) there is a plot though it is yet to be developed as I was waiting for more participants so as to get suggestions from them. But for the Proof-Of-Concept (which is more like a Test Game) there is a fully developed story. For the art-style the uncanny valley might be inevitable but that's not a problem, we'll all reason a way out.

I will post the story of the Proof-Of-Concept by tomorrow so that we'll all know what we are dealing with

I've been waiting all day for the story man. Even a summary would be nice. I really want to start work on this as soon as possible.

I've posted a short introductory story at the General Category

So what kind of game is it going to be. Are we making a First person shooter, a third person shooter, a hack and slash, beat em up, top down rpg, Third person Rpg, 2d side scroller e.t.c?

For now, its going to be a third person shooter, though as time goes by we might add in the FPS aspect of it and also the RPG part

Ok then, sounds good so far. So for the art style are we going realistic or stylized.?


For realistic think of games like Halo, kill zone series, Resistance fall of man e.t.c

For games with stylized art, think of games like Mega man legends 3, Zone of the Enders, Phantasy star on-line e.t.c

If we go realistic, I might not be able to contribute at all since I mostly do anime and stylized stuff. Just wanted to point that out before we get started.

Games like Halo are a bit off target for our humble project , We are definitly not aiming for a human realistic game for now, neither are we to settle for a cartoon looking game. I think a stylised art like that of Zone of Enders, with a little bit enhancement, will be okay.

Ok coool, stylized art it is then

Turns out I suck at Mech design, I just cant come up with anything unique/ Different. For some weird reason, all I end up doing is replicating the style used in the Mega man games which I think doesn't go well with the theme and story of the POC. At this rate you'll need to find someone else to come up with the designs for the robots.

It definely ain't easy I must confess.

funny enough I've also been battling with a mecha model I've been working on off and on for some days now, I will upload a pics of it.

Just do the much you can and we'll sort out the rest

According to the Story line of the POC we will be dealing with Biofols and Protofols. Biofols are more or less human-like having large part of their bodies made up of FOLS materials with slight robotic modification. Protofols on the other hand have an even composition of FOLS material and robotic body parts.

The nature of the Game would likely be a Protofols battling Protofols and Biofols, and maybe some other experimental synthetic lower life forms that were created by Prof Incub. I will add an extension to the main Story to give you better ideas of how its going to be.

Here is the mode I talked about. I won't say I'm good at modeling but I'm damn sure I awfully suck at texturing . Thinking of how to texture her gives me nightmares

I have added an additional follow up info at the general board with title "Incub8: The Invitation". It should help you understand better how the game will be like

Here is another model I made last week for In-Game testing, perhaps you could draw some idea from it
